Megan Silea has been nicknamed "The Domestic Diva" by friends because of her ability to be creative in the kitchen. Growing up in New Orleans, LA ensured that Megan developed an early and intense appreciation for good food. Living in Tennessee since 1997 has led to more restricted culinary access but also has fueled Megan's passion and persistence for creating and improving upon her own recipes and cooking skills. Megan also hopes to inspire people who want to cook but are afraid to try new techniques. Feel free to share your thoughts, questions, and feedback with Megan at meggle@ymail.com.
